Doris Knecht - Ja, Nein, Vielleicht

Yes, no, maybe
For the first time in many years, she feels free again: the children have moved out and her life between the big city and the country is becoming more peaceful. But then her apartment is occupied by her sister, a tooth threatens to fall out and she is confronted with her own finiteness. While the rather marginal health dilemma grows into a small existential crisis, she meets a man from the past again in the supermarket: Friedrich. An encounter that confronts her with a question she no longer wanted to deal with: Is she ready for another love affair? Or rather, is she ready to share her good life, to risk her inner contentment, again? A modern novel about life as a woman that questions the eternal primacy of romantic love - unabashed, witty, life-smart Doris Knecht, born in Vorarlberg, is a columnist (for Falter and Vorarlberger Nachrichten, among others) and writer. Her first novel Gruber geht (2011) was nominated for the German Book Prize and was made into a movie. Her most recent publications are Die Nachricht (2021) and Eine vollständige Liste aller Dinge, die ich vergessen habe (2023). Doris Knecht lives in Vienna and the Waldviertel.
